In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    You can view the code and bail if any of these things happen. Until then, it’s just guesswork.

      Their servers aren’t open source, and they’re full of my data.

      Their mail service by necessity is going to collect data on me.

      They’re going to have DNS on their VPN side. How do I know the VPNs aren’t logging me.

      They have given up data on people before which makes me rather certain they’re logging.

      Android SMS and mail apps are open source too right?
